Fans have seen “The Young and the Restless’” Lamon Archey (Mason Wilder) tackle some pretty dramatic material in the year he’s been a part of Genoa City, but the actor’s latest role just may have the power to put those scenes to shame: He’s been cast as a lead in the indie short “The B Word,” which brings awareness to the disease bulimia nervosa.

Written by sisters Nakisha and Nichole Aliece Ceilstan, the film (which is based on a true story) centers around two sisters and how their relationship is affected and threatened by the horrific disease. Archey plays Rashid, a husband to one of the sisters.
